Vascular Conditions Treated
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
This is a bulge in the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Depending on the size and exact location, our doctors may perform a surgery to repair or remove the damaged tissue.
Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease
Blockage of the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This disease may be managed by quitting smoking, controlling cholesterol, and regular exercise. If further treatment is needed, our doctors can place a stent in your aorta to create a wider path for blood flow.
Carotid Artery Disease
Occurs when plaque, a substance made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, clogs the blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain (carotid arteries). The best treatment for this condition is healthy eating and exercise habits.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Occurs when the veins in the legs do not allow blood to flow toward the heart. When these valves do not work properly, blood flows backwards and pools in the legs causing varicose veins, swelling, or color changes in the leg.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
Occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the body, usually in the legs. Deep vein thrombosis can cause pain or swelling in the legs, but it can also occur without symptoms. For more information, consult our doctors.
Endoleaks (Type I-V)
A fairly common complication of endovascular aneurysm repair surgery, a technique used to repair abdominal aortic aneurysm. The procedure involves placing a prosthesis inside the aorta to restore aortic function without having to operate directly on the aorta.
Giant Cell Arteritis
An inflammatory disease of large blood vessels. Symptoms may include headache, pain over the temples, flu-like symptoms, double vision, and difficulty opening the mouth.
Lymphedema
Swelling in an arm or leg caused by a blockage of the lymphatic system, which may be accompanied by pain or discomfort. Exercise, bandages, massage and compression may help.
Mesenteric Ischemia
Occurs when narrowed or blocked arteries restrict blood flow to the small intestine. Decreased blood flow can permanently damage the small intestine. The best treatment is a healthy diet, good sleep, and physical exercise.
Peripheral Aneurysm
An enlargement or weakened area in an artery other than your aorta that mostly affects the arteries in your legs or neck. Our doctors use minimally invasive techniques to treat your condition.
Peripheral Arterial Disease
Narrowing or blockage of the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs, which is mainly caused by the accumulation of fat in the arteries. To prevent this condition we recommend a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Portal Hypertension
An increase in pressure within the portal vein, which carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. This condition can be controlled by a healthy diet, medication, endoscopic therapy, surgery, or radiology. For more information, contact us.
Pulmonary Embolism
Sudden blockage in a pulmonary artery. It usually occurs when a blood clot breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream to the lungs. Pulmonary embolism is a serious condition that can cause permanent damage to the lungs. Our physicians use blood thinners or medical procedures to treat this condition.
Renovascular Conditions
Diseases of the arteries leading to the kidneys. These diseases can lead to high blood pressure and/or kidney failure. Fortunately, there is a treatment, which controls blood pressure and prevents kidney failure.
Stroke
Occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing the brain tissue from receiving oxygen and nutrients. The good news is that treatments are effective and can help prevent these strokes.
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
A weakened area in the major blood vessel that feeds blood to the body (aorta). When the aorta is weak, blood pushing against the vessel wall can cause it to bulge like a balloon (aneurysm).
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
A group of disorders that occur when blood vessels or nerves in the space between the collarbone and the first rib become compressed. This can cause pain in the shoulders and neck and numbness in the fingers. Our doctors accompany patients with the necessary treatment to cure this condition.
Varicose Veins
Occur when veins become enlarged, dilate and fill with excess blood, causing them to swell and take on a purple-bluish or red color that generates pain. These can be reduced by making changes in your lifestyle, although there are also medical treatments to cure them.
Vascular Infections
An artery can become infected by bacteria, viruses or fungi. The infection circulates through the bloodstream and can cause fevers, chills, and weight loss. It should be noted that it is not common for arteries to become infected; however, our physicians are trained to treat you if you have an infection.
Vascular Trauma
Refers to injury to an artery, which carries blood to an extremity, organ, or to a vein, which returns blood to the heart. Our doctors can help you with treatments depending on your case.
Vasculitis
An inflammation of the blood vessels which can thicken the walls of these vessels which restricts blood flow, damaging organs and tissues. It is a rare condition, but our doctors are trained to treat you if you suffer from it.
Visceral Artery Aneurysm
Ballooning of the splenic, renal, hepatic, or mesenteric arteries, which supply blood to the spleen, kidney, liver, and intestines, respectively. Aneurysms are the result of weakening and thinning of the arterial wall. Our specialized physicians are in charge of monitoring your arteries to avoid any possible damage to your health.
